I wonder if we get to see what sounds on the CD/LP like a microphone stand falling over and bouncing on the stage during a very quiet slow part of "Incantations Side 2".! -------------- "In the land of the Dacotahs, Where the Falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak-trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." - Song of Hiawatha Back to top

arsadkarcic Group: Members Posts: 1 Joined: Aug. 2005 Posted: Aug. 01 2005, 23:27 I have this concert in my video collection, meaning it really does exists. It was released officialy in 1979 by "VIRGIN VIDEO" as "EXPOSED - MIKE OLDFIELD LIVE ON TOUR". The lenght of the video is approx. 45 minutes. It starts with a very brief interview with the different musicians (incl Pierre Moerlen and Wendy Roberts, but NOT MO), and after 2 minutes the concert starts. I believe it was recorded at a theater in London, in front of a small crowd, the fans were sitting in chairs. The full orchestra and girl choir (possibly the largest group of groupies ever, no pun intended) are also there, but no recording of Incantations was included on this VHS release. The song list is as follows: - TB part 1 - Guilty - TB part 2. The music is absolutely great, and slightly different from the audio album song versions. The video is quite good, although appears dated (mostly "Zeitgeist"), viewing from 2005. Let us hope this DVD will materialize. AK Back to top

Martech Group: Members Posts: 1 Joined: Aug. 2005 Posted: Aug. 02 2005, 06:23 I hope this is true. Can't wait! Don't forget that the Exposed album was mixed from the best bits of a number of concerts all over Europe so the DVD (if it exists) will not feature any of the same cuts as the album. What about the 1980 Knebworth concert next? Back to top

It was released officialy in 1979 by "VIRGIN VIDEO" as "EXPOSED - MIKE OLDFIELD LIVE ON TOUR". Say, isn't this the video with Mike Oldfield on the front cover holding a mandolin guitar? If so, I almost bought it through ebay but somebody was quicker.   -------------- -The mark of a good musician is to play one note and mean it- Mike Oldfield - 1980 Back to top

TOBY Group: Members Posts: 1562 Joined: May 2002 Posted: Aug. 02 2005, 13:37 Was that video not the MO live one from the QE2 tour? I think the one with Mike holding the Mandolin on the cover was this one, though I may be wrong. I think I've read this was originally only available as an Australian import. I remember occasionally seeing this video in the shops in the late 80's. It's got Sheba, Platinum, Ommadawn and a few others on it.   I would imagine if they release the Exposed DVD it will contain more than just 45 mins of music. They'd be daft not to include Incantaions. It has to be said, much as I welcome this release, given the choice I'd much rather own the Knebworth concert in all its glory on DVD rather than Exposed. As live renditions go its probably my least favourite and least listened to of Mike's live stuff. TB just seems quite ponderously performed, where as the Knebworth version is a lot more rocking.

Blue Dolphin Group: Members Posts: 1232 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: Aug. 02 2005, 19:00 Yes, Knebworth released on DVD is my nr. 1 on the list too. Especially the Ommadawn version with the drum solo (of the late Pierre Moerlen) is awesome. That's something which is important to be kept (and be released proper on DVD). -------------- -The mark of a good musician is to play one note and mean it- Mike Oldfield - 1980 Back to top

Eliz1776 Group: Members Posts: 3 Joined: June 2004 Posted: Aug. 02 2005, 22:43 How EXCITING!! I love Incantations!  I've been hoping a DVD of the concert would become available, but I never thought it would be this soon.   Back to top

Front cover = Mike Oldfield, tubular bells - live in concert. (picture of MO playing mandolin guitar) Back cover = 1.Platinum (Oldfield) (CBS songs) 2.Tubular Bells Pt 1 (Oldfield) (CBS songs) 3.Tubular Bells Pt 2 (Oldfield) (CBS songs) 4.Mirage (Oldfield) (CBS songs) 5.Ommadawn (Oldfield) (CBS songs) Running Time 27 mins 1984 WOT productions limited England. Haven't played it yet, bit worried it might fall apart. I'm from New Zealand so it probably was an Australian Import. There's a few mysteries with it. Why CBS Songs? The duration seems to be way to short for all the tracks listed! If WOT productions are in England then why was it a import in the UK? I'll archive this baby to more stable format soon so if anyones interested I'll post some info on it in another forum at some stage. Exposed on DVD- if it has got an interview with Pierre on it then I'll be over the moon. -------------- How can they NOT like my music! Back to top

This is the same video that I have and it is the only footage of TB that I have. I assumed it was the only one, are their others? -------------- I hate getting up early.

James Group: Members Posts: 39 Joined: July 2002 Posted: Aug. 03 2005, 06:04 I'd imagine Mike and his team at the time fimed these events in great detail.It cost a lot of money these european exposed tours and aparently nearly broke him (sure.... any hows I have always imagined there must be lots of glorious footage of TB and Incantations from these mega great concerts (if the exposed CD's are anything to go by.Just look at the array of still images on the sleeve (Album record) You can't fail to see these as the pinnacle of Mikes creative performances. Sure the Knebworth is mega tastic but equal to this no better just different.these concerts show Mike in his top performing element so let's embrace all of these In the hope that they do materialize fingers crossed.

ATTMO Group: Members Posts: 79 Joined: June 2004 Posted: Aug. 04 2005, 11:44 Hmm great news, I hope Incantations will be on it. Incantations on exposed is one of my favourites, excellent performance. greetings form costa rica (doing a 2 months trip there) -------------- "Such is life; and we are but as grass that is cut down, and put into the oven and baked" - Jerome K Jerome Back to top

Meanwhile you can hear a solo guitar playing one of Platinum's melodies as if Mike tested the sounding... but Platinum was released in November, way after Exposed; so it's like a demo version. -------------- If I were music, I would be Enigmatism.
